LabView 11 Runtime

[seth.larimore]

Does anyone know why a program that is designed in LabView 2011, won't work on LabView 2011 Runtime on another computer.  I have tested the executable on the computer that the VI was built on, and it does work.  However, it will not change cases when it is run on a Windows 7 and a Windows XP computer running the runtime or regular LabView 2011. The LabView is version 11.0 on both computers as well.  Attached is the VI. Thanks for your help!

You should not have posted to this thread. It is for those requesting conversion from one version to another. You can click on the Options link and select Report to Moderator to request that it be moved.

String comparisons can get weird.  If you accidentally add some white space or start a new line that you can't see, then the comparison will be way off.  Instead of using a string, you might want to use an Enum instead.  This will make sure you have very defined inputs and the user can't screw it up nearly as easily.

The VI really needs a ms wait to avoid hogging the cpu and it really should be using an event structure. That being said, it did not work for me. I did not have the option set to 'End text entry with enter key'. Do that with the ini file for the exe and see if it works (after rewriting it, of course).
